Learning Outcomes

Students completing this course will be able to comprehend modern scientific papers in the field of cell biology. They will be familiar with relevant research methods in the cell biology field and therefore be able to use similar methods in their own field of research if needed. Completion of the course assignments will teach students how to implement known scientific tools in order to solve new problems.
